Paraphrase

Partly broken letter of the judges to Nabû-mukīn-apli (/Nādinu//Dābibī), High Priest of Eanna (šatammu), and Nabû-aḫu-iddin, Royal Overseer of Eanna (ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti), "their brothers", about a statement by Badi-ˀilu (BI) about something involving his daughter going upstream. After a broken section, the judges request that BI, another man and BI’s daughter be sent to them to decide their case.
